WELCOME to 2ndTRIGGER International Conference hosted by University of Tehran and Organized by CNRS, University of Tehran, Geological Survey of Iran and Université de Sorbonne

TRIGGER, "Trans-disciplinary Research on Iranian Geology, Geodynamics, Earthquakes and Resources", is an international scientific coordination network meant to pursue and develop the collaboration between Iran and France in field of Geology/Geodynamics, Earthquakes (and hazard assessment) and Mineral resources.

This network rests on collaborations already well established at the start of the millenium (such as between the Geological Survey of Iran, NCC, IIEES,… and the universities of Paris, Montpellier, Strasbourg, Grenoble...) but with a broader scope and more participants, both on /Iranian and French sides.

It is actively supported by the CNRS (the national research center of France) through the Institut des Sciences de l'Univers (INSU; "GDRI" programme). Participation of scientists from other European countries is also foreseen.

The present-day institutional partners of TRIGGER include (but not limited to):
